Sports car :)
On topic, should serve you well as long as it was maintained well by the previous owner, and regardless of what anyone says, ford being ford, get a manual, it's less trouble, and brace the firewall where the clutch cable goes through.
It should have come with a small resistor in it's packaging......
When used on a points style ignition system, that little resistor is essential to getting an accurate signal, setting it to 8 will just make it jump around all over the place unless you happen to be particularly lucky....
Have a chat with someone down at somewhere like Autobarns and see if they'll show you the type of resistor that comes with the new ones, the resistor will cost you about 25c from Dick Smiths :jamie:
If it gets real cold in there, you might want to look into one of these Jet Heaters.
They're bloody amazing for heat output, just don't point them at a car, or anything flammable, the solid brick wall should be fine :(
:D
Man, you better get that bulb fixed right quick, that's a major hazard to yourself, other road users, pedestrians and small furry marsupials.
Better be real careful where you drive lest you get an angry letter from the neighborhood watch....... :D
